In places where it's implemented it's not JUST about having 1 customer. It's having 1 customer:
- for a long time (years and years)
- having basically the same restrictions as regular employees (same working hours, can't set your own; same work location, their office, can't set your own; usually the exact same IP restrictions as employees, etc)
At that point, you're basically an employee without any legal protections. In places where employees actually have legal protections.
